Hi, I'm having an awful lot of trouble getting RHDB 2.1 to install on a clean RHL 8.0 install. I really can't work out what's going wrong, because the error messages aren't exactly all the helpful. I get the same message I do in text mode, that I do in graphical, I just used the text mode installation method so I'm able to show exactly what it is I'm doing via e-mail. Here goes: [root@chopper cdrom]# ./Install -text Red Hat Linux 8.0 detected; running installer... Tclish-text Installer, (c) 2001, 2002 Red Hat Inc.

hi, same stuff happened to me! i had to manually install each rpm under the RHL 8.0 folder. They have their dependencies so during each installation they would ask for other files, some of which i had, some i downloaded from rpmfind.net. it's gonna be a tedious job and i can offer no more details because i did not take notes of what i did :-( good luck, Rommel the iCeMAn, Barbados, Caribbean.

Hi Lachlan,
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem, however, I suspect
you need to install the appropriate key to verify the signature,
please try to import the PGP key in the iso, and then install
again. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.
Cheers,
Permaine

Hi,
Hopefully, by importing the gpg key, your problem will go away as well.
As for the dependencies, you can either find it in our iso, otherwise, you
should be able to get it throught Red Hat Network, which is probably
the easiest way to find them.
Cheers,
Permaine
Here's a page that describes some errors/warnings that you might encounter while installing rpms regarding the signature: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rpm-using.html and more about checking a package's signature: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-check-rpm-sig.html Hope that helps. :) Permaine
I guess that is what you are looking for:

Hi, I've the same problam as Lachlan Evans and I read Permaine Cheung answer. When I downloaded RHDB iso image I also found this file: MD5SUM Is it the PGP key you refer? If not where can I find the good one? How can I import It in the iso? Thank you, Augusto Vezzaro

You can import it by: rpm --import <directory_with_key>/RPM-GPG-KEY More info on package signature can be found at: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-check-rpm-sig.html Cheers, Permaine
